In the building that used to host Mamilanjis and then the King’s Club, Upper West is a consciously upmarket successor. Aiming for the New York vibe that London has exploded with recently, it is full of the Chelsea twenty-somethings who made the uber-camp Public such a success until its sudden death in 2012.

In the upstairs lounge hang exhibits from Notting Hill’s London West Bank gallery, to be enjoyed with cocktails (from £11), street food and – if you’re lucky – live music (see website for details).

In non-winter months guests can watch the good people of the King’s Road from the rooftop garden, featuring cascading water and olive trees.

Downstairs the Madisons nightclub is spacious, with an elevated DJ booth and floor-to-ceiling bronze mirror panelling, but doesn’t leave you much room if you haven’t booked a table – a bit of a trend in West London venues recently. The bottles-based menu in Madisons has beers and glasses of wine from from £5.
